The Hidden Danger of the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture

In the Wonderful Dharma Palace, the Golden Toad Dharma King wept bitterly and made a vow.

Zhang Xuezhou was watching the Emperor, who was smiling faintly and shrugging his shoulders, while the Golden Crow Great Emperor was looking up at the sky.

The Golden Toad Dharma King sensed that the Emperor harbored murderous intent, but outsiders couldn't see such intent at all; it was merely a sense of awareness he had gained from experiencing similar events.

In a brief conversation between the Emperor and Zhang Xuezhou, he saw his own destiny reflected in a single sentence.

This deadly calamity came so quickly that not only was the Golden Toad Dharma King caught off guard, but Zhang Xuezhou's expression also became uneasy.

"Although he is a demon, my godfather has always treated me well..."

"Don't call me godfather. I don't have a son like you. We're no longer friends. From this moment on, I don't know you, and you don't know me!"

Hearing Zhang Xuezhou plead for him, the Golden Toad Dharma King was moved, but even more so, he felt terrified.

The reason for his emotion was that Zhang Xuezhou had not forgotten him, even after he entered the Heavenly Court and became a high-ranking figure.

The reason for his fear was the same: he hoped that Zhang Xuezhou would be a little more ungrateful and sever ties with him decisively, which would give him a better chance of survival.

The closer Zhang Xuezhou gets to him right now, the closer he gets to death.

The Golden Toad Dharma King Golden Toad Dharma King shouted, swearing and indicating that he had no connection with Zhang Xuezhou, but the more he argued, the colder his heart became.

The Emperor's attitude was nonchalant, even indifferent, which showed that his attitude had not changed.

"You're being overly apprehensive!"

The Emperor shook his head slightly, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou did not need to explain, while the Golden Toad Dharma King's reaction also became somewhat agitated.

"My godfather..."

"I only said that he was unworthy of his position!"

The Emperor spoke calmly.

Zhang Xuezhou had initially assumed that this secret place was inhabited by a group of mentally ill cultivators, but upon seeing the Golden Toad Dharma King pleading for mercy, he realized that things might be quite different from what he had imagined.

For a top-tier demon like the Golden Toad Dharma King to prostrate himself on the ground and weep bitterly, the other party's authority must surpass that of the Venerable One.

Even the Emperor could easily decide the life or death of the Golden Toad Dharma King, without caring about the trouble of retaliation from the Xieluosi River Holy Land.

"You promised a bunch of old men and women!"

Zhang Xuezhou frowned slightly.

The Golden Toad Dharma King must have sensed the high risk behind his actions; otherwise, there would have been no need for such a disgraceful performance.

But the Emperor only said two sentences.

As an indirect interlocutor, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to empathize with the Golden Toad Dharma King.

However, he had once sensed the Emperor's unpredictable murderous intent, so it is highly likely that the Golden Toad Dharma King truly felt the possibility of death.

In this situation, Zhang Xuezhou had no way to dissuade him; only the Golden Toad Dharma King could save himself.

Just like his previous methods of self-preservation, only by completely making the Emperor give up his intentions could the Golden Toad Dharma King survive.

"Your master and I will return to the palace first. You and your godfather can talk things over later!"

The Emperor smiled gently, indicating that Zhang Xuezhou and the Golden Toad Dharma King could get closer.

His retreating figure, about to turn and walk away, left the Golden Toad Dharma King utterly heartbroken.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, my oath was sincere, I... wait, I have news about the Holy Son's life or death!"

"Oh?"

The Golden Toad Dharma King wept bitterly and vowed to demonstrate nearly half of the process of begging for mercy from the Venerable One at the Xieluosi River Holy Land, but he discovered that things were completely different.

His Majesty felt great pity for him, but the Emperor felt physically uncomfortable upon seeing his appearance and wanted to avoid him for the time being.

This gave the Golden Toad Dharma King a sudden realization, and he quickly began to beg for mercy in other ways.

"What life and death? Zhu Shiyin?" the Emperor asked casually.

"It is your student, Zhang Xuezhou," the Golden Toad Dharma King knelt and kowtowed, saying, "I know he is at risk of death. As long as Your Majesty spares my life, I will surely tell you all the details!"

"You toad, I haven't chopped off your head yet, why are you so trembling?" The Emperor frowned, his voice laced with Sha Qi. "But if you don't give me a reason for what you're saying, I really will chop off your head!"

He was still using Zhang Xuezhou to research the Divine Sense enhancement spell when the Golden Toad Dharma King suddenly said that Zhang Xuezhou was at risk of death.

Even under his protection, the Golden Toad Dharma King maintained this claim, which indeed raised doubts for the Emperor.

He steadied himself as he was about to turn away, and looked at the toad demon kneeling on the ground, wondering what kind of logic the other party could come up with.

"Your Majesty, this humble demon has been ordered by Your Majesty to escort your student away from Kunlun to Chang'an City," said the Golden Toad Dharma King.

"Oh!"

"Your esteemed student previously owed you a favor," said the Golden Toad Dharma King.

"I did indeed accept His Majesty's request to spy on Chang'an City for the Xieluosi River Holy Land," Zhang Xuezhou interjected.

"That's where the problem lies," said the Golden Toad Dharma King. "Back then, you were tied to the Xieluosi River Holy Land Dharma Master Hongku, and there was a need for you to study the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture. I think it wouldn't be a problem for you to study it."

"I did indeed study the Great Wilderness Creation Scripture!"

"This cultivation technique allows you and Wu Chao to evade the threat posed by your cultivation level, but it also carries the risk of being located and having your life and death controlled by the Venerable One. The higher your cultivation level, the more severe the impact," the Golden Toad Dharma King said in a low voice. "You should know that this technique is a secret art created by the Venerable One. From the moment you agreed to spy for the Venerable One, he has already taken control of your life."

"So?"

Zhang Xuezhou looked astonished, completely unaware that the technique that had enabled him and Wu Chao to repeatedly escape disasters had a backdoor.

This added another person to the control of his life.

Having spent years walking on the edge of danger, he had seen so many such things that he had become accustomed to them.

Having too many lice doesn't make you itchy, and the Venerable One isn't the only one holding his life in his hands, so Zhang Xuezhou didn't seem panicked at the moment.

"If you fail to complete the tasks entrusted to you by His Holiness, or deliberately evade them, or lie about the situation, once His Holiness confirms the truth, he may deal with you," the Golden Toad Dharma King sighed.

"The Great Wilderness Creation Scripture"?

The Emperor's expression shifted slightly, and his eyes seemed to hold a hint of contemplation.

"This is His Excellency's method for strengthening the Yin-Yang Eyes, and it can also evade intimidation. When I followed the Ten Yin Holy Son in the past, I heard that this technique was... was..."

What is it?

"It's a secret technique used to defend against your suppression!"

The Golden Toad Dharma King hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke again, recounting everything in one breath.

He raised his head and looked at the Emperor's changed expression.

The emperor's previous words were vague and ambiguous, but the current emperor has spoken clearly and plainly. As long as he can explain a reason, he has a chance to survive.

This made the Golden Toad Dharma King very cooperative, and he explained everything related to Zhang Xuezhou very clearly.

As long as he remains in the Xieluosi River Holy Land and Zhang Xuezhou does not disobey the Venerable One's instructions, Zhang Xuezhou faces no risk.

Once Zhang Xuezhou becomes the Holy Son of Kunlun, if he does not abide by the agreement previously established with the Venerable One, or even defies the Venerable One, Zhang Xuezhou's life will be in the Venerable One's hands. Even if the Emperor were by his side, it would be difficult to guarantee Zhang Xuezhou's life.

As a key fighting force that left the Heavenly Court, the Venerable One certainly has enough resources, and even has the means to retaliate against the Emperor.

This is a situation that is difficult for ordinary people to know, but it does not include the Ten Yin Holy Son, nor does it include the Golden Toad Dharma King, the former confidant of the Ten Yin Holy Son.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Seeing the Emperor's furious rebuke, his demeanor was no longer as unpredictable as before.

The Golden Toad Dharma King couldn't immediately tell whether the Emperor was angry because of the Venerable One's defensive measures or because Zhang Xuezhou's life was in danger.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling that his seemingly certain death was now half over.
